Hey all,

Been looking through here for awhile, didnt really post.

About a week ago, picked up my first HR30 :D

Pics are located in the link at bottom of this post.

Brought of a mid 40's asain lady, family owned for 11 years.

Didnt pay much for it.

As you can see in the pics, its had a hard hit in the rear.

It will most likely be turned into a cheap drifter due to the damage but if i can do most of the panelbeating myself and fix it for a sensible cost, it will be my new daily driver :D Will also let my learn how efi and turbo works.

Unfortunally it is auto (which will get a ca18det box soon) and it is currently having issues with a alarm and imobiliser.

R200 LSD is gone too, R180 4.11 single spinner has been fitted :D

Feel free to comment and give me idea's on how to modify it.

Another pic of progress, slowly getting better.Removed the boot spoiler. Dont mind the rear wheel angle, it has no diff in it at the moment.

I might have to cut up a MR30 rear end and see what metal i can make use of and find a way to pull teh quarter panel up coz its sagging near the taillight (look at the boot line)

Cheers, :D

Hey,

Not much progress lately..... got a question though. Does the hr30 strut have 100mm caliper spacing like the dr one?

Oh and aussie spec r30 seems to have the same rear quarter panel! alot cheaper than getting 2door quarters :lol:

Cheers!

Well seeing that it starts and all....I thought id change spark plugs, oil, oil fitler and fuel filter.

What oil filter and fuel filter should i use? Aus spec r30 ones?

And what spark plugs and maybe even spark plug gap should i use? ;)

Cheers!

Dan,

The Aussie Sedan & Import Coupe rear qtrs are different, so don't get sucked in by some assumption.

I think you will find the coupe's have a longer rear and for sure they have 2 different part numbers.

Any dealer will tell you that different part numbers means a difference somewhere.

May I suggest you go find an aussie sedan in a wrecker and measure the length of the bootlid each side, centre, etc, but I have given you the coupe part numbers already.

Cheers,

Dennis

Ill probally be only using the bottom half of the 1/4 (thats where all the creases are).  I got a rear trim of a Aus spec r30 and its the same and fits perfectly. So my guess is its pretty much the same sh*t, but next time im at the wreckers ill measure.

Cheers!

Oh and any news on that bank deposit ? :)

Bank deposit confirmed, gave parcels to mate to post tonight, should see them shortly, either later this week or next.

Interesting what you say about that side trim, maybe I should get a sedan bootlid and compare, but all importers claim they are different.

Cheers,

Dennis

Dennis,

A guy on here has a new boot for sale and says its a few inches longer. Maybe this is so but i think the actually panel is the same and the boot jam bit is different to compinsate for the longer boot. And also the sedan looks like it has abit more bulgier rear windscreen which could also mean the rear boot would be smaller.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
